Struck GOLD!

BEGINNING OF A NEW DAY! This day was actually Thursday because it was when we had boneless buffalo wings from BWW's . So to correct my timeline, last Wednesday was the rough researching day. Today we started off the day by getting briefed in to how VIM worked. It was a little much to take in, as we have to learn all of he different key commands that VIM can use. Continuing from our productively lost Wednesday, I hopped into the chat rooms that ...

Week 2: Weekly Wrap-up

It is now the end of the second week. I’m tired of having to constantly deal with these technical problems. They are seriously becoming a problem. Hopefully I’ve seen the end of them or else I’ll be nothing but dead weight to team Lemonade Stand. This week team Lemonade Stand was working on planning out the project for the summer. We have an idea about what we want to do. The problem, though, is that to do the open badges there was a lot that we had to learn about the school servers and how the ...

Day 9

It was Lemonade day at one of the elementary schools of Rochester. The students had set up small booths and were selling lemonade. Team Lemonade Stand took this day as a opportunity to get a preliminary play test for the game Lemonade Stand. We sent up our stand with XO laptops and got a few kids to come play the game. After watching, we came up with a list of changes we would need to make to the game which was similar to the ideas we already had. ...

The Grind for Information

This previous Thursday, the Lemonade Stand team had quite a hard time at work. It was our job that day to research sugar XO laptops communicated with a school server, with regards to the Journal. The Journal is an activity that records a list of activities that have been accessed throughout time. Sort of like the history on a web browser. Students have an option of adding tags to these entries to show what they learned while using that particular act ...

Day 8

Calendars, Collaboration, and Cranking We got our group calendar together today, and very very soon we'll have to actually space out our milestones and plan out what's going to have to be due when. We had a sweet vim seminar, and I got to learn about the difficult art of vimgolf. If you don't know about vim, and like to code on the command line, you should. Best text editor I've seen. Vim has earned my trophy for the category, dethroning the reigning champion Microsoft word. [Word's feeling ...

Day 7.5

Threebean and Fornight in the caves of Sugar Maybe it was because I had just read this article, but I felt like I was doing Archaeology. It turns out that although the Sugar desktop environment download was all in the package I downloaded, it was in a several different folders haphazardly mixed with all other python programs installed on my "box."
